Global Harvest Initiative (GHI) claims its mission is
- to sustainably double agricultural output and improve storage and distribution to eliminate the global productivity gap.[1]
GHI says it
- believes innovation in agriculture from production through distribution will make it possible to feed the world of 2050.[2]
When it comes to the farming methods that are to deliver this "innovation in agriculture", it claims even-handedness:
- Achieving this monumental task requires embracing all production practices, including conventional and organic agriculture, for producers of all sizes, ranging from subsistence farmers to large modern producers.[3]
However, there can be little doubt as to what type of farming it is advocating, as its founding members are Archer Daniels Midland Company, DuPont, John Deere and Monsanto Company.[4]
